HTC Puccini, the company’s first 10-inch tablet, uncovered

In addition to exclusively revealing the first photos of AT&T’s Samsung Galaxy S II earlier this morning, we also got our hands on the first solid images of HTC’s upcoming 10-inch slate, codenamed the HTC Puccini. While confirmed specifications are light for the time being, the tablet will feature an 8-megapixel camera with what appears to be a dual-LED flash, as well as stereo speakers and a microphone. Also, as we can clearly see in the image above, the Puccini will support stylus input just like the HTC Flyer. Earlier reports suggest the tablet will include a 1.5GHz processor, Android Honeycomb, HTC Sense and a 4G LTE radio. There’s still no word on a launch date, but let’s hope it’s sooner rather than later. Check out the rest of the photos in our HTC Puccini gallery below.

Nah :/ sadly it’s 1.5 single-core. Sometime 2012, 2.5ghz quad-cores are set to be unveiled, so wait for that.

That is the hotness, especially with the nice leather case. Ditch Sense for a straight-up vanilla Android (unlocked bootloader?) and I’m there!

Ahhhh now I remember why I check BGR everyday…….. EXCLUSIVES! . . . Can’t deny they do tend to get a lot of exclusives . . . Looks like a nice design round back… And I really hope they do something “DIFFERENT” for Sense UI on Honeycomb… because the Sense UI on the FLyer is just a the same phone UI on a bigger screen….

And looks like the PEN is coming along for the ride

I don’t know what “puccini” means, but I know what it sounds like. I hope they come up with a better name by the time this gets released!

Puccini is a famous composer who wrote Tosca, La Boheme, Madame Butterfly and lots of other operas.

I thought an opera was a web browser?! :)

Yes, it’s a browser. Puccini was a lead developer of all those above mentioned releases.

I’ve been waiting on a 10 inch tab from HTC. The initial specs looks like their taking it up a notch which is great. I think I will hold out for the big brother to Evo View on sprint. Hopefully they will incorporate a USB port on that one.

Get rid of the pen and it would be good.

The pen might have its meaning.
May be for drawing precision

If this was a resistive screen then I would agree with you. But since this is a capacitive one with an electronic pen you don’t really need for it to function properly, Then it is no big deal to just not use it. Simple.

Presumably this has an N-trig display. Imagine a pressure-sensitive clear wacom tablet inside the glass of your tablet. You can still use your fingers, but for drawing and handwriting, the pen is mightier than the finger.

N-trig. Look it up (I’d say “google” it, but g+’s insistence on no pseudonyms is undermining all things google).

There is absolutely nothing wrong with pens. I just hate resistive touch surfaces. I stayed far away from Window Mobile, Treo, and anything else that was geared for stylus input.

You realize that the pen is for the Scribe technology right? Check out HTC Flyer, I would have gotten that but it’s too small and slower, so I’ll wait for this. Let’s see you take notes on an iPad (just for comparison) better.

why do they need a pen, can’t they let you use your finger? Isn’t this the whole point of freeing us from laptops.

jjames

you will have the option to use the either the stylus or your finger it is not limiting you in any way whatsoever.

Should be dual core, and there better be a wifi only version!

I’m not ditching my Touchpad any time soon, but this thing may make me break my rule about owning more than one tablet.

I just paid $22.87 for an iPad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $675 which only cost me $62.81 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, GrabPenny.com

Interesting tablet, however I would recommend everyone to wait until the Kal-el (Tegra 3) tablets comes out this fall.

I was loving it until I saw that stupid pen…

Roseroo

There’s an easy way, just make the pen stay at home, don’t bring it out :-)

I like my EVO 4g a lot… a 10 incher with the pen as an addition will be a great product offering indeed.
